Alongside the legendary Porsche 911, the German brand introduced the Porsche 912 in 1965. This sports car's exterior is identical to the 911's, but its features were somewhat more basic. The Porsche 912 was equipped with a four-cylinder 1600 engine and was priced considerably lower than the 911. This made the 912 an attractive and successful Porsche, also available in an open Targa version, including this stunning Porsche 912 Targa, produced in 1968. This car is unique in several ways.
This stunning Porsche 912 Targa Short Wheelbase was originally delivered in Spring Valley, California. The original color was Tangerine Red, but during a thorough restoration, it was resprayed in a stunning Canary Yellow. The interior is completely original and in a truly unique and beautiful condition. This car had one owner from 1971 to 2023, and they clearly took excellent care of it. The American registration documents from 1971 are still present with this beautiful Porsche 912, as are the Californian license plates.
This Porsche 912 was restored some time ago and is in near-perfect condition. The beautiful Canary Yellow bodywork has a deep shine, and the paint is in excellent condition. The various chrome and trim pieces are also in excellent, shiny condition. This also applies to the various rubber parts and finishes. The body panels fit together well, and the doors (as well as the hood and trunk lid) close solidly and properly. The beautiful and original Fuchs rims look perfect on this Porsche 912 Targa. The removable Targa roof is also in excellent condition.
The interior of the Porsche is still in very good and original condition. The black imitation leather interior is beautiful to look at, and the seats are comfortable and comfortable. The dashboard (with brushed aluminum inlay) is also in excellent condition, and all instruments work properly. The car is equipped with a perfectly matching (and working) Blue Dot Blaupunkt radio, headrests, and original door handles. Everything is still in very good and well-maintained condition. The original large steering wheel is also original and feels very firm in your hands.
Under the hood, we see a very well-maintained engine compartment. It's clear that this car has been maintained with great love and care. The 1582 cc four-cylinder boxer engine runs very smoothly and quietly, providing sufficient power for both sporty and comfortable driving. The four-speed manual transmission shifts exceptionally smoothly and precisely. The car is equipped with disc brakes front and rear, and the brakes feel firm and solid. While driving, it's also very noticeable that this is a very well-maintained Porsche 912 Targa in a truly unique and beautiful condition.
